iIIPS’IIIIEIl TO TRADE Votes For Tariff In Exchange For . Votes For Free Silver. .MR. ALLElTS PROPOSITION. His Amended Bill .Laid. on the Table Tem- porarily—Senator Carter of llIontana Assails Mr. Mon-ill For His “Test Tariff” Action. WAsnrxe'rox, Feb. 27.—Mr. Quay (Rep, Pa.) reported the army appropriation bill in the senate today and gave notice that he would call it up tomorrow. Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) returned to the tariff question by referring to the state- ments of Mr. Merrill, Mr. Sherman and Mr; Platt during the debate yesterday. Mr. Allen said he had believed that it was the honest purpose of the Republican party to enact a law placing gold and sil- ver on equal terms. But the debate, of yesterday developed that the Republican leaders under no circumstances would ac- cept a free coinage magpie, independent- y or as an amendment to any other bill. Under these circumstances Mr. Allen said he would submit: a distinct proposition to the chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Merrill—namely, that if he (Merrill) desired to command sufficient votes to pass the tarifi bill he (Allen) would as- SENATOR CARTER. sure sufiiaient Populist votes to give a majority of the senate if the passage of the tariff bill was accompanied by the adop~ tion of a free silver amendment. Mr. Merrill remained in his seat with out responding, but Mr, Hoar (Rep, Mass.) made the point that the discussion was out of order. Unanimous consent was given, however, to Mr. Allen to pro- ceed. He went on to criticise the finan- cial record of Mr. Sherman. The Repub- lican party could not escape. said Mr. Allen, from the attitude of declining to remonctize silver. ”The Populist senators are ready to stallow your nauseating and unjust tariff measure,” said Mr. Allen, “if you will place silver on equal terms with gold, but you will not do it. ” Mr. Allen next turned his attention to Mr. McKinley, and had read from the desk a speech said to have been delivered by the ex-govcrnor of Ohio. Mr. Allen referred to Mr. McKinley as the “chief apostle of protection, ” and the speech purported to give Mr. McKinley’s severe criticism against the demonetizatien of silver. In conclusion Mr. Allen held up a bill, ex- claiming: “New to test your integrity and your good faith I offer this bill. It is your tarifi‘ bill, without a ‘t’ uncrossed or an ,‘i’ undotted except in the title. And I say to you that if you are ready to show the good faith of your assertions for silver and link it with the tariff bill we pledge you six Populist votes. ” Mr. Allen’s bill was read, it being the tariff bill and a free silver bill combined, and went to the table temporarily. Mr. Lindsay (Dem., Ky.) offered an amendment to the tariff resolution of Mr. Carter, directing the finance committee to report back a repeal of the enacighth dif- ferential duty on sugar. Senator Carter’s Speech. Mr. Carter (Rep, Men.) then took the floor for the speech—which had been antici- pated with keen interest—defining his at- titude on the tariff bill.. He spoke with great earnestness and with a deliberatencss which emphasized every word. Mr. Carter began by referring to the senate’s action on Feb. 13, when the mo- tion to take up the tariff bill was defeat- ed. He said that before the motion to con- sider the tariff bill was made he, acting upon the suggestion of a member of the finance committee, was endeavoring to bring about a conference which might re- srlt in a. satisfactory adjustment of the dlierences on the Republican side of the chamber. The motion of Mr. Merrill was unexpected, and he, with other Republic- ans, voted no, and under the same circum- stances he would cast a similar vote. The position indicated nothing more than that there was no disposition to take up the matter at that time. He said he would say no more were it not for the fact that charges of disloyalty to his party had been made by many Republican papers in the cast. Four members of thoparty, includ- ing himself, had been pronounced guilty of treason without hearing or trial. 110 then paid some attention to the house tarifi' bill. It was admitted everywhere, he said, that the house bill was not a Re- publican measure, but he said it was a measure to meet an alleged emergency, ~ which the chief executive stoutly asserted did not exist at all. “Recently certain self constituted censors of party loyalty,” Mr. Carter continued, “have been pleased to denominate the Re- publicans who voted against the bill as conspirators against the public weal. Others have gone so far as to invite them to relieve the party of their obnoxious presence.” Cleveland Criticised. He declared that the silver Republicans believed they were right and were firm in their party allegiance. Mr. Carter said that business depression in this country followed the election of 1892 because tarifl reform meant free trade, and continued: “At this momentous point the spark of genius appeared in one of the most deter- mined men this country has ever known. When the history of our times shall be Written, Mr. Cleveland will be accorded the honor of having displayed the most marvelous political tact of any man of his time.” Mr. Carter then referred to the financial and tariff legislation favored by the ad- ministration, paid his respects to the Re- publican senators and representatives who tie-operated with the Democratic adminis- tration to bring about the repeal of the Sherman silver law, and 'in speaking of ghe suggestion of the president that the -Advertise.in the GA ZETTE. greanbm‘ks should be retired said: “Again we hear the Republican magpie chatter. A horde of. presidential aspirants rushed to political suicide yelling, ‘Seund money I’ The press of New York city leads the pro- cession. ‘Sound money!’ is their cry. And under the cover of this cry the president protected himself and his administration from just criticism for the most shady and iniquitous transaction in public finances the world has ever known—the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman‘ act.” Then, continuing, he .said in part: “In due time the present congress assembled, and the president does not call for more revenue, pertinaciously insisting that the revenue laws are all right, but calling for authority to issue bonds so as to facilitate the retirement of the greenbacks and his operations in an increase of the public debt. There is some doubt about the suc- cess of the operation. ‘ Mutterings are heard about the previous bond sale—when lo and behold! there comes another exhi- bition of genius. A venerable dispute of the age of threescore and ten concerning a strip of swamp land in Venezuela is rushed upon the country with a warlike demonstration, and we are proudly 'in- formed that the same hand that authorized the tearing down of the flag at Honolulu will sustain the government at all haz- ards, even unto the horrors and terrors of war. The Venezuelan Commission. “By this time the Republicans of the east have become used to bobbing up and down like a cork on the water at the sug— gestion of the president, and instantly we see a resolution passed appropriating $100,- 000 for a commission _ to advise the execu- tive on points on which ample facilities for information were at the time at his disposal. The president understood the string upon which to play. He played the part of an artist. “In the midst of the warlike excitement following on the evening of Dec. 20, just three days having been alldwed to work congress and the country up, another mes- sage followcd, in effect renewing the call for the retirement of the greenbacks and authority to issue bonds. Conservative men were swept off their feet. The last message adroitly referred to the first, and an impressive warning was suggested to the country. Who could think of party principles at such a juncture? We were persuaded that war was upon us. Under pressure of this artificial but exacting and exciting situation the revenue and bond bills were passed by the house. The rec- ord shows that 33.3 hours were allowed for the consideration of the revenue measure and about one day for the cousidcraficn of the bond hill. To insure ,speedy relief Ree publicans dropped tlu ir own principles on economic Iogi-dation and in lieu thereof ac~ ccpted three distinctly Democratic heresics on the iariii' h.ri:outal revision, ad \‘alo- rem duties and the Wilson bill as a founda- tion for a revenue scheme, and they pro- ceeded to its mactment. fondly hoping that the president might condescendingly consent to lavor it with his signature or his sufforanw. The bill reaches the sen- ate. A substitute is reported for it. Consure For Culloni. “Certain 1::Il1‘iolic Republicans. forget- ting the platform of 1802 on the tariff question, forgetting all the traditions of their party, suck to have Republicans in this chamber. who are devoted to bimetal- lism and protection, two elemetary princi- ples of Republican faith, put in such a po— sition as apparently to be compelled to vote against one of their principles in or- der to secure the success of the other. Some gentlemen who pretended to under- stand the situation refused to co—opcrate. To the candid judgment of honest men I leave the determination of questions relat- ing to the fidelity of Republicans in this senate to their party principles. “It is high time that Republicans who claim to be within the party should take their cues from the party. platform, rather than from the White House. If it shall occur that this senseless crusade against Republicans who believed in good faith in ‘the’Minneapolis platform when it declared for bimetallism as well as protection shall be carried to such an extent as may result in the adoption of President Cleve- land's scheme by the St. Louis conven- tion, I submit that Republican success will be ”rendered utterly impossible. If the plat-form of 1896 announces to the country, in conjunction with the action of Republicans between the two conventions, that the plank on bimetallism adopted at Minneapolis was a delusion, a fraud and a snare, it would be just as well for the Re- publican party not to make nominations at St. Louis at all.” In the House. When the house met today, the senate amendments to the house bill to extend the time under the act of 1891 within which the government might bring suits to amend patents to public lands under rail- road or wagon grants were laid before the house. Mr. Lacey, chairman of the committee on public lands, moved to con- cu'r in the amendment which reduced the extension of time from five years to one year. Mr. McRae (Dem., Ark.)sharply contested the metion. The motion to con— cur was adopted. Odd Follows’ Officers Installed. TROY. N. Y., Feb. 27,—The annual grand encampment of the I. O. O.

LONDON, Feb. 27.—-A Constantinople dispatch to The Times says that Lord Sa‘l- isbury has sent a reply to the cefnmunioa-' tion which the sultan instructed Costaki Pasha to make to the British government inviting England to regulate the situation in Egypt with suzcrain power on the basis of guarantees being given for the security of communications between England and India. The Times correspondent says that Lord Salisbury in his reply says that the Turkish embassador’s suggestions are too vague. The sult-in has therefore ap- point-ed a commission, consisting of the grand vizier, Halil Rifat Pasha, the min- ister of foreign affairs, Tewflk Pasha, and the president of the council of state. Said Pasha, to formulate concrete proposals on the subject. PARIS, Feb. 26.—Thc Figaro this morn— ing dwells upon the reports in circulation. concerning the willingness of Great Britain to evacuate Egypt, and distinctly asserts, in spite of statements to the contrary from London, that the European governments are discussing the Egpytian question from its various aspects, whether Great Britain has engaged to evacuate the occupied ter- ritory, asto the moment being favorable for the evacuation, now that the British authorities admit that Egypt‘is tranquil . and prosperous, and in view of the fact that Turkey has promised to insure the neutrality of the Suez canal’in a manner similar to that adopted in the case of the straits of the Dardanelles. The Figaro Reaffirms. PARIS, Feb. 27.——The Figaro dwells up- on the reports in circulation concerning the willingness of Great Britain to evacu- atc Egypt and distinctly asserts, in spite of statements to the contrary from London, that the Eurorcan governments are dis- cussing the Egyptian question from its va- rious aspects.
